Day Three- A Parent's Perspective by Stephen Modell

Robotics kids started the day by viewing U.S. Space program's venture to the moon. Campers also did the Ares Moon Activity, gearing them towards future moon shots. While kids were having fun, parents hiked through the nearby hills. There is quite a bit of natural beauty in this heavily forested area occupied by the Marshall Space Center. Both parents and kids constructed Estes model rockets ("but will it fly?"). We are set to blast off! Kids at this point only momentarily notice their parents as they carry on with their own missions and groups.
